Chorsia rufitincta Hampson comb. n.

Stenopterygia rufitincta Hampson, 1918, Novit. zool

Diagnosis

The shape and forewing markings are reminiscent of those of trifine noctuids, the possible reason for Hampson’s original placement, but the hindwing venation is quadrifine. The rather narrow forewings are dark brown, variegated more rufous longitudinally and crossed by broken, irregular antemedial and postmedial fasciae that have blue and white highlights, as does the reniform. The hindwing is medium brown, paler than the forewing.
